Visual Studio Professional 2013 always crashes on start

Question

I have Visual Studio 2013 Express installed on my machine, and realised I need Professional to install a few add-ins I require. I installed the Professional Trial version - and now both Express & Professional crashes when I try to open it. I just get
the message "Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 has stopped working - A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

With no success. I've eventually formatted my hard-drive and
reinstalled windows a few times to try and get it sorted - It looks like it was an issue with Xamarin Studio. Every worked fine until I installed it and it started breaking.

I'm very sorry for have wasting your time. (Apparently it was
supposed to support 2013 - but I managed to get everything working with 2012 instead).

I had the same issue, and I did all of steps that Dylan has
said. I got no result yet! What is wrong with the Visual Studio 2013?! Please answer, I can't find any solution, should I downgrade my Windows, or my Visual Studio? PLEASE GIVE ME A SOLUTION! Thanks.
